A Mother's Gift
Warm cookies
wrapped in foil
shaped like an amoeba
tastes of heaven
baked by small hands
and colossal hearts
flavour of joy

I Still Believe
With respect to all of the members of DUP, I must apologize that I have been gone so long!
There have been so many Horrific and Incredibly Beautiful events I have experienced, that I wanted to check in and say to you all, I MISS YOU AND I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!!
I will be back on as I can. I’m so worried about everything and Everyone, all the time.
I Believed in the beginning that , I could help our members try and keep up a positive outlook. Unfortunately, we as humans have flaws and faults; numerous issues every moment, every day.
IF any of you are anything like me,...

Bath
In a lukewarm bath, I hold you close to my chest.
Small body resting while I cleanse your delicate skin.
You smile, the waters dirty.
I smile back.
I see now that you are not real and I am not your mother.
Even so, I see your face and weep.
The child I never had is gone and I miss her.
Small body resting while I cleanse your delicate skin.
You smile, the waters dirty.
I smile back.
I see now that you are not real and I am not your mother.
Even so, I see your face and weep.
The child I never had is gone and I miss her.

URCHINS ON A TRAIN
Come! Come on!” “Come!”
“Run faster!”
One after the other
They race past me
Giggling, elated, winded…
“Come on!” They call after their gasping mates.
One grasp the ladder
The other follows the foot of the other
“Hop on!”
“Come on!” Self-proclaimed leader implores.
Haha!
Like tiny packages
They load themselves neatly on top of the carriage
And,as if amazed by their mastery
For a moment they pause
Look down from the rusty roof
Then break out laughing, clapping, howling…

Nuevo Laredo - Rewrite
Nuevo Laredo
Wife’s bodhisattva halo embraces the nativity
of a Mesoamerican Madonna holding her baby
in a circle of love.
Beatified in luminescence
Ascetic body lost to hunger
Golden daughter of creation whose son shines
Like the gold-leafed pages
In her book of divine love
His nursery rhyme eyes
Are a shanty-town of tears
Mother’s milk-less breasts grieve
In prophetic yearning for son’s rebirth
My beloved’s heartbeats are a pulsar
As her soul synchronizes
With the celestial harmony
Of maternal love...

Seventeen
I can still remember the first time I saw you
You had these Peruvian/Salvadoran charms
You were this tiny person behind the glass
But you took large place in my heart
when I held you in my arms.
And throughout the years your little voice
Grew along in the echoes of our photographs
As you may know, time is not that kind
It won’t stand still but it’s filled
with silly giggles and laughs
Now the boys keep knocking at the door
Look at the beautiful young lady you’ve become
I’ll help your dad keep the wolves at bay ...

..devotion..
.mother..
..my fiercest lightning storm teacher..
..your gale force winds full of broken glass..
..your words spit nails crucified my youngest heart..
..pulsating lamb guts on a giant cross..
..loving you is a pitiful crawl barefoot across an ocean of crackling slicing lava coals..
...the weight you carried..
..your own young lamb quivering in the darkest rotting bog..
..i know this lineage burden well..
..skinless with no shelter in a world of salted rains..
..custom tailored terror..
..and so it is..
..there it is.. ...

Dreams That Matter
Love costs all we are and will ever be,,
yet it is only love which sets us free'
-Maya Angelou
I still got faith in some new day,
Lawd, don't take my hopes away.
If rings and curls and pink on little girls
make fierce boys scare them into whirls,
let us stay all laughing, all the same,
we and they are all the same.
Us, we're no better than the next big thing;
a song that's all the same, we sing.
Unsilenced, our exuberant song
of hope that tomorrow will be as bright
as today, or...
yet it is only love which sets us free'

A Father's Pearl
Provider, protector, progenitor, patriarch
Everything you do comes from your heart
The start of creation began with your seed
Implanted into the womb to be conceived
When nothing impedes our seeds progression
Or whenever it seeps through our protection
We receive the great blessing of fatherhood
The motivation to seek education & livelihood
Understood that you'd soon be relied upon
To raise and mentor your daughter or son
One that'll bring more sunshine to each day
Especially when they say Happy Father's Day ...

I blow raspberries on fresh skin
watch the world light up in giggles
Some days it's the simple things
that we need the most

Serpent's Work
We get poisoned by
the black mamba
snake to succumb
to his way of evil
by doing his dirty
work like killing
drug dealers who
sell their shit
to innocent kids
because kids our the future
the black mamba
snake to succumb
to his way of evil
by doing his dirty
work like killing
drug dealers who
sell their shit
to innocent kids
because kids our the future
